Programming Steps

Programming the

ﬁlter/ purge cycles

Depending on system

conﬁguration your spa will

perform either a ﬁlter or a

purge cycle. The ﬁlter cycle

menu consists of the following

parameters: the start time

(FS), the duration (Fd) and the

frequency (FF). The purge cycle

menu consists of the following

parameters: the start time (PS)

and the frequency (PF).

A ﬁlter cycle consists of starting

all the pumps and blower in

high speed for

1 minute (purge step) then, the

pump associated with the ﬁlter

will run in low speed for the

remaining duration of the ﬁlter

cycle (clean step).

A purge cycle is used when the

spa is equipped with a 24 hour

circulation pump which pro-

vides a continuous clean step.

It consists of starting all the

pumps and blower in high

speed for 1 minute.

manufacturer, this key may

have one of the two following

functions: On/Off or Standby

mode and/or Economy mode.

On/Off mode: This mode

such as ﬁlter cycle, heat request

and smart winter mode purge

for 30 minutes to perform quick

spa maintenance. To enter the

ﬂash a few seconds before the

end of the 30 minutes to warn

you the system is about to resu-

me its normal operation.

Standby Mode: This mode

allows you to stop all outputs

and automatic functions with

the exception of the heat

request for 30 minutes. To enter

the standby mode, just press

and release the On/Off key.

The display will toggle between

the “Stby” message and the

water temperature. Press the

On/Off key again to restart the

system before the expiration of

the 30 minutes delay. The spa

light will ﬂash a few seconds

before the end of the 30 minu-

tes to warn you the system is

about to resume its normal

operation.

This mode allows you to save

some energy by regulating the

water temperature 20°F (11°C)

below the actual set point. To

enter the manual economy

mode, make a long press of

5 seconds on the On/Off key.

The display will toggle between
